... Windows 8 did. 8 got of to a shaky start but I guess it's true that if enough people complain, things will change.
Sadly, this is not how businesses like Microsoft make decisions. Everything, right down to the "How many times a day does employee xyz visit the bathroom" is a marketing and financial decision.
Everything is about short and long term revenue generation and if they can't make the round peg fit into the square hole it ain't gonna happen no matter how many people complain. Remember, they have a duty to stock holders, and their executives to line their back pockets.
Seriously, Microsoft has no interest in pleasing you or the masses unless it makes them lots of money.
Another strategy (Which has been around for millennia), is Problem - reaction - solution.
Make far reaching and drastic changes to an OS (Eg Vista, Windows 8), knowing that there will be an uproar. Identify it as a problem, then look like a hero for dialing it back and creating a solution that is more palatable, and eventually people will fall for it and you get to the point you originally intended.
Human minds are plastic, and easily controlled and manipulated. Easily convinced that a bad situation is good, and those that don't assimilate become the outcasts.
The windows 10 strategy fits this paradigm nicely.
